i wouldn’t expect the captain roster to be kept higher than necessary just to protect downgrades. Displacements and downgrades should be anticipated if the imbalance is too large.

downgrades would be much more of a possibility due to involuntary furloughs at the bottom of the list than voluntary leaves throughout the list. Though I’ll bet most of the leaves are jr FOs.

Most vsp will be captains, yes FOs will be most of exto but we were way over staffed on the FO side, so I think downgrades will be minimal if at all. if they do have to downgrade maybe they can work with the union to increase lance captain slots, will reduce training and improve utilization.

Bingo. We have been riding a thousand high on the FO side since 2016. Occasionally, they would upgrade a bunch and the balance would temporarily be semi restored, but when Covid hit, we were in a FO glut.
